Devotion to the souls in Purgatory contains in itself all the works of mercy, which supernaturalized by a spirit of faith, should merit us Heaven. de Sales

I remember reading the vision of a Church compresed into a critical mass as a means of purification in Salt of the Earth. I've noticed how remarkably this contrasts with Francis' vision of a diffuse, expansive Church conforming itself to the social container in which it finds itself. They are really polar opposites.
